On Thursday the Red Sox introduced their newest outfielder, the speedy Shane Victorino.

Though some have criticized Victorino for his declining offense, his bat is far from the only thing he brings to the field. The Hawaiian may not quite have the power to qualify as a five-tool player, but Victorino can impact the game in many ways, whether it be in the batter’s box, in the outfield or on the basepaths.

Check out Red Sox general manager Ben Cherington‘s quick scouting report on Victorino in the video above from NESN Daily.

Will the Red Flops be able to win 69 games in 2013 with has beens in OF plus Ellsbury is a shadow of his 2011 self. Iglesias the SS can not even hit a foul ball. He misses every pitch. No 1B, 4 Catchers, no starting rotation since Aug 28, 2011. GM seems terrified of signing a good player. Well, we no longer have NHL hockey. It looks like the end of Red Sox for me a fan since 1949. Too difficult to watch each game's agony on a 100 ways to lose. Red Sox do not know how to bunt, sacrifice, make a safety squeeze, run from first to third on a single. They lack basic baseball skills.Ellsbury always gets to third and is left there hundreds of times each season.

Why sign this bum for 3 yrs and 39 mil, when you can sign Ross for 3 Yrs and 25 Yrs? no sense at all...Ross is a great fielder, clubhouse guy, and hit 22 jacks in his first yr...and Victorino can only do damage IF he gets on base....Ben Cherington----U R N IDIOT.
